2013 SESSION
13101583DBe it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 22.1-273.1 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 22.1-273.1. Annual screening for scoliosis and eating disorders.
Within the time periods specified in regulations promulgated
by the Board of Education, each school board shall annually
provide parent educational information or implement a
program of regular
annual screening for scoliosis and for eating
disorders for pupils in grades five through ten 10, unless such students are
pupils admitted for the first time to a public school who have been so tested
as part of the comprehensive physical examination required by § 22.1-270 or the
parents of such students have indicated their preference that their children
not participate in such screening. Local school boards shall develop procedures
for parents to indicate such preference.
The Board of Education shall promulgate regulations for the implementation of such screenings, which shall address, but shall not be limited to, requirements and training for school personnel and volunteers who may conduct such screenings; procedures for the notification of parents when evidence of scoliosis or an eating disorder is detected; and such other provisions as the Board deems necessary. Local school divisions may seek volunteers from among professional health care providers.
